So today I went to attend sufc v Man City at the etihad stadium with my two teenagers I had some flower and my vape on me was caping on route to the ground upon arrival the drug dog identified me as I was taken to the police and stewards about it at first the first steward and police man was like no you ain’t got a prescription you can’t have one you can’t get one and it’s only oil you could get after educating them on legalising in 2018 for medical purposes and showing them my prescription in more detail so had another 3 police officers come over and then we all
Had a really positive conversation in which they all admitted they had no idea then they all started using google ect long story short. Got all my meds back and vape and was officially allowed into the stadium to
Watch them he game and all in all a great experience honestly the police was absolutely fantastic and the stewards was sound to

I’m glad they saw sense for you mate but I find it hard to read this as a positive experience - as per usual they had no clue about the relevant legislation they’re meant to be enforcing. I’m glad you had some reasonable officers who could learn and admit being in the wrong but 9 times out of 10 in this scenario you are facing losing your meds and further action

Glad to hear you had a positive experience! It's always good to hear about these things because it shows that attitudes are changing. Slowly we are making progress and that's such a great thing for all of us.

Fantastic to read this, especially being a blue with memories of sneaking pipes of soap bar in the loos at Maine Road!

Glad it went well, just depends on the cop u get. Four more policemen educated tho, in a positive way which shows that people who use cannabis are probably the most chill people around

Hopefully one day the police will actually know the law.
